Hoppy Easter - AHSC #202

My card this week as Design Team Member for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #202. Join this challenge...you have until Sunday, March 12th to enter your project.

The design team reveal for this sketch will be on Wednesdays, so be sure to stop by to see the beautiful cards from the rest of the design team and other entrant inspirations for this challenge...and stop by every Monday for new sketches.  

I've been anxious to use Easter Bunny SOTM and this sketch was just right.  Rather than design paper dry embossed white daisy cardstock and framed it with purple cardstock.  The other two panels were also cut from daisy white cardstock and bunny and flower garden stamped and colored directly on cardstock.  The Little Bunny and Easter Basket were stamped, colored and fussy-cut and adhered to flower garden along with a few butterfly diecuts.  The sentiment was a die-cut from Cricut Design Space.

The inside of the card images from the same Stamp Set were bordered along the bottom and side using Gypsy Ink 

Close up photos below show the layering and fussy cuts...the Easter Basket with the space between the handle and basket so that the bunny's dress peeks through.

Heart2Heart - 1st Challenge in March 

"Dreaming Big"

Please join us this week and other challenges in March AND remember you have all month to create to be eligible for recognition of the Top 10 "Challenge Darling" ... and if you create for each challenge in the month for perfect attendance you will be recognized as an H2H Addict.  For additional inspiration ... hop on by to see all the DT members' and participant creations for this month and join us with your projects. 

I am hostess for this week, Team A, Emerald...hope to see you participate.  I took the easy way and decided to use the Dreamin' Big CTMH PaperPack.  However, this challenge is open to  your interpretation any way you like...if you can dream it, you can do it.   

Chose my background design paper and then cut another design paper centering the Scalloped Stitched Oval die on the floral design paper and then adhered with 3D thin foam tape to background.  The scalloped frame was glued to the background panel and three of the flowers on the bottom of the frame were fussy cut from the negative and pieced together and glued.  The butterfly was die-cut with two different design papers, one to create a shadow and the other to layer on top and bone curled the wings.  

Couldn't decide on a Sentiment or where to put it, so decided to leave it open for a future note card or future occasion.  The inside was decorated with one of my die-cuts using the floral design paper, which was going to be used on the front of the card, but decided it wasn't what I wanted...however, it made a perfect border on the inside of the card.

Happy Anniversary

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #486 combined with Between The Folds Challenge "Complements" #41A gave me the inspiration to make an Anniversary Card for my Daughter and her husband's 26th Wedding Anniversary. Lots of layers and complements. 

Please hop on by both of these challenges to check out the Design Team and other entrants inspiration and join us in these challenges. 

Pretty much followed the sketch and cut the many layers of design papers and Lagoon frames.  Added assortment of complements both on the front and inside of the card.  The floral panels on the front of the card were adhered with 3D Foam Tape and then flowers brushed with Wink of Stella and liquid glass on the foliage and leaves.

This card was made with one of the Cricut Free Calendars for the month of April which was modified not to print the calendar days and die-cut month.  Each month has the same flourish with different embellishment and colors related to that month ... for February the flourish had four leaf clovers and that was my first card using these calendars.  

The sentiment was a die, and the flower was another cut from CTMH Cricut Flower Market. The flourish panel was adhered to layers of peacock and black with thin foam, and jems added to the flowers.   

On the inside...decorated with another die-cut of the flower and adhered to a border panel of design paper.

When looking through the many design paper packets there were so few design papers that fit these colors ... so I pulled out the Paper Fundamentals and selected several geometric designs for my card.   So there was a lot of cutting to size, some die-cut borders and then rather than stars I decided to use feathers ... why I don't know ... just like feathers on a card and have had the die for a long time and never used.  And the bow on the sketch looked exactly like my Pretty Pink Posh twine and bows.  

This is a close-up of the feathers so you can see the embossed detail included in the die-cut.  Click on picture to get a larger photo for detail..  



  

Stamped a couple more feathers and placed on the inside corner of the card.

Challenge 40B - Hello Lovely Paper Packet and/or its colour palette

Fussy-cut one of the PML Cards included in the Hello Lovely Paper Packet and put it on a Stitched Wonky Square.  Chose the same design paper, die-cut the two sides with a border stitch die and adhered to Sorbet cardstock.  Adhered the Floral panel (lined up the pattern on the background design paper) with  3D Thin foam tape.  Added liquid glass to the large flower and used the shimmer pen on all flowers.  

Another die-cut was used for the band...sentiment stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with fine Silver embossing powder...sequins added to floral panel.  

The liquid glass was added to the center larger flower, and then brushed with the shimmer pen (the shimmer did not show well on photo)

Immediately thought of the diamond shape design paper in Hello Lovely for my background and added a border cut, layered on sorbet and glacier cardstock and adhered to white daisy card base.  Decided on a floral stamp using VersaMark, heat embossed with very fine silver powder, used thin floral die cut, colored using water pen with CTMH inks, and Sentiment was stamped in black ink. Zip Strip was used for the band and Floral panel adhered with 3D Thin Foam Tape.

Just Because - H2H "Complements"

Heart2Heart - 4th Challenge in February

"Compliments or Complements"

Please join us this week and other challenges in February AND remember you have all month to create to be eligible for recognition of the Top 10 "Challenge Darling" ... and if you create for each challenge in the month for perfect attendance you will be recognized as an H2H Addict.  For additional inspiration ... hop on by to see all the DT members' and participant creations for this month and join us with your projects. 

Chose to use Complements...looked through my stash of Complements and Design Papers and decided on Penelope, one of my favorite retired paper packs.  Since I did not have any large pieces of design papers, the background was a combination of two smaller pieces from the packet. 

Chose a striped PML card for one of the panels, layered with cardstock and adhered to the background papers.  In my stash ... the Floral PML card was already layered with cardstock and complements added (sentiment, frog and a couple flowers). Placed this panel catty-corner to stripes with 3D thin foam tape for dimension, and went wild with more complements.  

And I didn't stop there...more complements were added to the inside of the card.  This was a fun and easy card to put together and used up some of my stash and small pieces of design papers.
